Being Content in my unemployment

About a month ago I was put on a temporary layoff status. I was ok with this, as it was somewhat a voluntary thing. Most of the other ladies in our accounting department were their own income, so I new I was able to handle it the best. On Friday I found out this layoff would turn to permanent status. At first I was upset, a little amplified by some unsuccessful job interviews. But a friend wrote a note regarding her thought on her unemployment, and changed my perspective. Basically, she said that middle/upper class base so much of their lives on their career. Instead of dwelling on my unemployment, I need to take this time to grow closer to God, and to trust in His control. He provides for his children and I need to just remember that. So that being said, I'm more content, and focusing on my growth in the Lord.
